Today is the 59th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster when 144 people, 116 of them children, lost their lives when the village was buried by a slag heap from a coal mine.

To check up on my Crohn’s Disease, I am sent for an MRI every year or so. I know it’s good to get checked but I hate it. I have to drink a litre of some foul-tasting liquid first. It’s full of artificial sweetener of some kind, none of which I can abide. Then I have to lie face down on the MRI bed contraption, with my arms stretched out above my head. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my shoulders, which makes it worse, and then I have to lie still for thirty minutes while the equipment and the operator do their thing. By the time I’m done they haveto help me off the bed, as I cannot move my arms!

I would rather have a colonoscopy. Yep. I said it, I meant it.

Today was Transport Fest at Brooklands, where the London Bus Museum is situated. The weather was a bit crap but I got a good batch of photographs

I’m a coffeholic but even I have limits. I’ve had five large Americanos so far today, so on my break, I opted for a cup of tea to go with a slice of carrot cake.

Poking around in the rabbit hole that is Roon, I found a new album from Tame Impala, an Australian band. Deadbeat is the title, and it’s definitely worth a listen. It’s available on Tidal, Qobuz, and probably other streaming services too.

Never ending days of grey. Is not cold but some nice warm sunshine would be great #weather

Why?

Ten hour shifts this week.

I get up, get ready and go to work. I c come home, eat a meal, chill will some music or a You Tube video and then go to bed. That’s the routine for the week until Sunday.

Pretty mundane really. Still I’m off Sunday and I’m looking forward to that.

Mind you, it could be. Same long work day, same dreary grey weather. Summer has definitely gone until next year.

Thought I’d give this protein drink a try. I’ve had their regular kefir, and they don’t full those products full of crab or sugar or sweeteners.

No come on, don’t be filthy, you lot.

We don’t have a TV in the bedroom, but we do have a stereo pair of Apple HomePod Minis, and they are surprisingly good for their size.

Being were an Apple household we can throw music and other audio all around the house and I was doing that with Roon this evening.

Miles Davis is a great listen but not conducive to sleep!
